In what now seems like a lifetime ago, when I was with Sears I used to listen to this song 3 or 4 times a day, 5 days a week. This was the on hold music the credit call center used. It was never a good sign when you were placed on hold... 9 out of 10 times the agent would come back on the line and say, "I'm sorry, we don't any options for your customer."
At thirteen I wanted to be a harpist, but given all the other ways I knew I was different, I could never find the courage to tell my parents of my interest in this and so it remained for me only one of the "dreams of men still young..."
AI takes us back to the 70's and worlds collide...
I've clearly entered the reminiscent phase of my life because lately I've found myself really enjoying the music of my youth which I really didn't much listen to when I was young. Soul Train was more of an annoyance to me on Saturday afternoons because it was the least offense choice on tv even though I didn't much care for dance shows. Now on YouTube there are lots of live performances from the likes of shows like Soul Train, American Bandstand, The Ed Sullivan Show, et al, and I'm enjoying them these days much more than I ever did at the time.
Don't ever forget how hard fought this battle was...
Those who would steal from us our rights and freedoms didn't succeed in 2025, but that hateful generation hasn't given up on turning back the hands of time... We must be ready to fight again in 2026 and until the last of the haters is gone from the Earth
This song is about that phase of love's journey when you've gone through some struggles, maybe a few short breakups, but still find your way back to one another. I remember this time with the beloved one often. It felt just like this song...
For some worrying reason, thoughts of him and this time in our romance have flooded my mind and clouded my thoughts with overwhelming emotions that seem to foreshadow some unexpected change in the unseen cords that have bound my heart to his for nearly two decades.
Last night I laid awake well into the wee hours of this morning, tossing and turning, careful to avoid waking husband. Then around 3 am I remembered what today's date is and then I knew why I couldn't sleep. And I could hear this song echoing in my head...
